Psalms 97:7 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Confounded be all they; let them be ashamed of their former folly herein, and be thereby brought to detest and forsake them; and those who will obstinately persist in their impiety and idolatry, let them be brought to confusion. Or, they shall be confounded; for this may be a prediction, and not an imprecation. All ye gods; all you whom the Gentiles have made the objects of their worship, and who are capable of giving him worship; which two qualifications agree principally, if not solely, to the angels of God, whom the heathens manifestly worshipped in their images as an inferior sort of gods, of whom therefore this text is expounded, Hebrews 1:6.

Psalms 97:7

7 Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: worship him, all ye gods.
